Worksite Partner Resources


What's new this year: 
  • While six-week, 20 hr/week positions are still the *default* duration of our program, we recognize that this may not be feasible for all organizations and teens as we try to operate our program safely. This year you can designate position lengths of your own choosing, including the total number of hours, weeks, and hours per week that teens can work. We hope that this gives you and our teens the flexibility necessary to work together safely and productively.
  • You no longer need to designate paycheck options. All teens will receive their paychecks via direct deposit or mail. 
  • You can designate the option to receive and submit evals and timesheets digitally (or on paper, if that works best for your organization). 
  • We will require a copy of your organization's COVID-19 operating protocols on file.​
  • New York State minimum wage is now $12.50/hour, and that is what all YES Teens will be earning this summer.
​
What's the same this year:
  • Documentation required. We'll be asking for the same basic things from you as in years past: a Job Description for each position at your worksite, and a signed Worksite Agreement. 
  • We don't know our funding levels, but we anticipate serving a somewhat smaller number of teens this year (160-180) with the same eligibility constraints as in years past (and we'll let you know if that changes). 
  • Labor laws matter! Depending on how often your organization hires teens, you may or may not be up-to-speed on the laws governing the employment of minors. We are happy to answer any questions you have to ensure that labor laws are followed consistently.
